Ahmed is a young Bahraini. Like most Bahrainis, he is naive. On May 7, 2004, Ahmed was
arrested on drug-related charges. He has been imprisoned at the CID headquarters since
then. Ahmed is being treated as a criminal. He is being discriminated against. Ahmed is
being threathened and all his confessions have been extracted under duress. He is not
alone.

There are 64 people held in custody, some of whom have been there for nine months... All
of them have gone on a peaceful hunger strike. All they want is JUSTICE. All they are
seeking is to be put on trial immediately or released on bail until their trial
dates.Since May, Ahmed has lost his job. He did not see his baby daughter who was born
after his wife went into premature labour because of the stress.

Ahmed was picked up from outside his home at 10pm. He did not have a chance to tell his
wife what was happening to him. The first his family knew of his whereabouts was three
days later. In effect, Ahmed was kidnapped by the authorities. Ahmed has suffered the pain
and indignity in silence. In Ahmed's agony is Bahrain's shame. Is anyone listening?

Bahrain..the Kingdom of Hashish!

According to Bahrain Tribune, Bahrain is the the #1 Kingdom of Hashish in the world. Here's the news:

Over 100 times rise in hashish haul registered

Over a hundred times rise in hashish haul in the Kingdom has been registered, writes Mohannad Suleiman.Authorities last year seized a record of 800kg of hashish compared with only seven kilogrammes in 2003. They also seized 3,784,740 pills of amphetamine, up from a mere 134 in 2003.The surge in the figures seems to co-relate with the increase in the number of drug offence cases processed in 2004, which reached 748, more than double of the 331 cases in 2003.According to the head of Narcotics, Major Tariq Nasser, 55 people died from illegal drugs, while a total of 837 people (826 men and 11 women) were involved in related cases.“Our division seized 800 kilos of hashish, 9,581 grammes of heroin, 21 grammes of marijuana, 26 grammes of qat, 53 grammes of opium and 5 grammes of cocaine,” Maj. Tariq said. According to the Ministry of Interior officer, 233 drug cases were discovered inside Bahrain, while 468 were at the King Fahad Causeway, 45 at Bahrain Airport and two at the sea.He said that 325 Bahraini nationals were involved in the cases, compared with 454 from the other five GCC states, 12 from Arab states and 46 from other countries.

Six Bahrainis who had been detained for the possession of 350kg of hashish in Isa Town have been freed on bail, sources told Bahrain Tribune.

The six were arrested last November in what is considered Bahrain’s largest seizure of drugs after the police stormed two flats in Isa Town. Three large suitcases filled with the drugs were taken by the authorities.

I really don't care about this. He smokes it, his problem. Maybe next time he won't be such an idiot and think before he smokes. If Bahrain is such a problem and you seem to care so much, why don't you all stop this stupid blog and go do something about it.
